Green Beauty; Rainbow Scrap Challenge; Stash Report

Green Beauty (80" x 94")


Quilted...

...and bound. Ready for gifting to Kathy.


And here is the design I was tempted to start....

...considering this pile of scraps needed some attention. BUT, instead, I pulled out only the blues and got back to work on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Blue Ridge Beauty. And progress I made! Here are 80 blocks in an 8x10 layout, but I still had units and other scraps laying around, so I kept piecing until it reached a 10x10 layout

My design wall isn't quite large enough to house all the blocks right now (notice the blocks on the left are overlapped??) I'm not a big fan of square quilts, so I will make up 20 more blocks to add to the top/bottom and call it good. That would give me a center measuring roughly 60"x72"; add a border, and it'll be a good throw/snuggler.

Some images around the household today:

    Love the Green Beauty! Great job on it!

    I started the Hanging Garden quilt today. I've got the 22 strips cut and will cut the background and borders tomorrow. Making the throw size for hubby in black and whites. Should be fun!
    Love your blue quilt, too!

    Great quilt, definitely worthy of the new header for your blog. Blue Ridge Beauty is coming along nicely. As long as it isn't going to be square, have you thought about an asymmetrical setting? Nothing drastic, but maybe moving the bulls-eye a bit off the center?

    Both of the quilts are gorgeous. I love how you are using the scraps but making a traditional-looking quilt. Green is my favorite color, so I can't help but like the other one!
